The rivalry between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs is currently at a fever pitch.
Each has beaten the other to go to the Super Bowl in the last two seasons, and while the Bengals have three wins head-to-head, the Chiefs have brought home a championship over that span so they have a leg up in a sense.
That hasn't deterred Ja'Marr Chase from defending Joe Burrow neither has it stopped Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce from firing back. Well, now the Bengals have more motivation to beat the Chiefs in December and dethrone them as the league's best team as they have been picked to finish behind them in regular season wins in 2023 according to BetMGM.
Favorites:
Chiefs +500
Bengals +700
Eagles +700
Cincinnati has a team that could end up with the most wins.
Burrow is a top-five quarterback, Chase is a top-five receiver, and Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd round out the NFL's top receiving trio. Joe Mixon is one of the league's better running backs and the Bengals defense finished fifth in the fewest points allowed in 2022, and they should be a good unit again this season.
Until the Bengals get over the hump and win it all, they'll always be right behind the Chiefs in people's eyes, and that has to burn them up inside.
